1.The committee chair of the event records the names of every person that earned merits. 2.The committee chair creates a spreadsheet with the names of members who earned merits for that activity and sends it to the Merit Tracker/2nd Vice President. 3.The Merit Tracker inputs the spreadsheet into the "Merit Tracking Program." (This is an original program created by a former SPHS student.) 4.The program keeps a record of every merit that each member has earned throughout the semester. When the semester is over is also calculates deficits. 5. The Merit Tracker sends an "email blast" to every member of the NHS. Each member's email contains their individual merit report.
-The "SPHS National Honor Society" facebook page. This page often contains the most up to date information. Committee chairs post information, and occasionally hold sign-ups on the page.
-Email Blasts: Email blasts are the emails that are sent approximately once a week. They contain the member's updated merit report and a description of the newest merit opportunities.
-The Announcements: Merit opportunities are frequently advertised on the school announcements.
-This Website: This website is not always updated with short term merit opportunities, it does contain general information about some of the bigger NHS service projects.
Email the committee chair of your event! They might have forgotten you or they might have not even submitted the merits yet!
*All committee chairs names and emails are listed in the attachment that is sent with every email blast. *If you do not know who your committee chair is please email a NHS officer.
Members who fail to earn 8 merits per semester are on probation until the missing merits are made up. Members must also earn 8 merits per semester in addition to the merit deficit from the previous semester. Failure to bring the merit status up to date after a semester on probation will result in dismissal.
